TexasQuest Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hondas are getting rediculously priced now. I can get an escort that's cheaper, lasts just as long, and parts are dirt cheap for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project83 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thats a good looking hatch for a good price. I picked up a '97 EX coupe for 500.00 a couple months back needs a front fender and a crank kit i was going to flip it but my wife wants to keep it so i'm not arguing LOL i've always wanted one to mess with anyways. Wish mine was a hatch but a coupe will do, Congrats on the new daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucw458 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) I have no idea what you guys are talking about. HX, EX, HJ??? Honda people,...... <_> Edited October 11, 2012 by Komeuppance Keep the sexual joke to yourself or PM's next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfelge Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I have no idea what you guys are talking about. HX, EX, HJ??? Honda people,...... They're chassis codes and trim levels. HF and the ones with X's are trim levels, everything else is chassis codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanta Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I have no idea what you guys are talking about. HX, EX, HJ??? Honda people,...... Chassis codes. Like how a Starion is an A187. More like how a 1984-1987 Corolla GT-S is referred to as an AE86. You'll find amongst the Miata crowd them referring to NA ( 90-97 ) NB ( 98-2004 ) and NC ( 05+ ). HF, EG, EK9, EM1, EP3 etc refer to different Honda chassis. Sort of how we shorten Staron/Conquest to SQ, it's just simpler to type/say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 HF I believe is a sub-model for the EF series civic hatchback's/CRX's. High Fuel Efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jszucs Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 ^ O no it's all about the VP I think it's value package..... they got nothing in them Personaly I see little to no wrong with them, as long as you only want it for a point A to point B car they are great. I'm still amazed how abused and neglected some are and yet they still keep driving along. Kid down the street had an EK and I though he turboed it from the way it sounded like it was running. Turns out it was running on 2 cyl because of 100K of total neglect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 HF I believe is a sub-model for the EF series civic hatchback's/CRX's. High Fuel Efficient. HF's were the high fuel efficient models, came only in hatchbacks and CRX's- '88-91 years. 45+MPG. DX are base models, LX have some power options no sunroof, EX have V-tec engines, full power options, sunroof etc. VX, HX, were the super economy models, no power anything, not even steering, no AC, No defrost, no door mouldings. But they came with high fuel efficient V-Tec engines. I remember stupid kids buying the HX models and ricing them out thinking they were gonna race with them. If you find a 96-00 Civic HX 5speed, snatch it! You can get 40+ MPG's out of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomad Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 That 96 HX was awesome. Years before the prius, it was reguraly, getting 45mpg, sometimes as high as 52mpg. The one I had was a 5spd, had 186k miles and was still doing good on its original clutch. That model also offered the 1st cvt transmission as the automatic option.
